Power instrument
Special care should be excercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing
aid where maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711),

remaining hearing of the hearing aid
user.

ing aid is a power instrument, speak
with your hearing care professional or
consult the settings overview page at
the end of this manual.
Possible side effects

used in hearing aids may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or other side
effects.
Please seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference, according
to the most stringent international
standards. However, interference be-
tween the hearing aid and other devices
(e.g. some mobile telephones, citizens

curs, increase the distance between the
hearing aid and the interfering device.
